"On a dark, rain-soaked night with strong winds howling outside, stepping into this cozy restaurant was a delightful escape. The warm glow of candlelight and the beautiful seaside artwork on the walls created a wonderfully inviting atmosphere. However, the true highlight of our visit was the attentive staff and the outstanding food. They even treated us to dessert after the kitchen had closed! I’m puzzled by some of the negative reviews, as our experience was entirely different. The service we received was on par with what we've experienced at Michelin-starred restaurants. The tableware was immaculate, and we never waited long for anything. Our server continually checked in to ensure everything was perfect and even prepared an excellent whisky cocktail for my husband. P.S. I highly recommend trying anything with langoustines and the sticky date pudding. (Sorry, no photos— we were too busy enjoying the delicious food in front of us!)"

"We couples) had booked a mid week table at Panis. A warm welcome, a nice atmosphere, comfortable and roomy booth seating and a pleasant decor. Unfortunately, the food did not match up, in any way, to the surroundings. My artichoke casserole' was a...meagre clear broth with a couple of undercooked potatoes, a slimy piece of red pepper, a few beans and some decidedly odd pieces of artichoke covered with two huge slices of bread which added nothing to either the taste or appearance in fact, I left it. I opted for a lemon sorbet which is always a safe bet but was again disappointed by the lack of any finesse with its presentation, and yes it was lemony but of the industrial kind. Other meals looked equally lack lustre but since I didn't try them, I won't comment. I shared a carafe of wine and wished I hadn't. It was pure vinegar with sediment for that added touch of indifference. I think that was the problem. Friendly enough front of house staff, but a kitchen that is either past caring, thinks they can get away with it or just doesn't have the skills. Poor Sardinia."

"Just amazing every time we go. Izzy manages a joyous level of personal attention, even at the end of a long summer season has even rung up to ask if we wanted an outside table instead of the inside one we'd booked, because the sun was unexpectedly shining. Fish is invariably absolutely fresh just what is available on the market that day. And Max cooks it to perfection never overdone, never waiting around. Sea trout yesterday that was off the menu list, but in the kitchen, and succulent as only day boat fish can be. Seasoning dead on, and generous use of saffron and butter. The ambience is just like sitting in a friend's house, with a very attentive host nothing ridiculously grand, everything done wonderfully, and you feel very welcome. Slightly surprising seeing a few complaints of over pricing perhaps they don't understand how expensive good fresh food is to buy nowadays. Far from rip off prices for this sort of quality. Every friend we've ever taken notes down the details so that they can go again."

"we have an impromptu lunch. we had to find a waiter to take our order. the starters took old and were tasteless. I even had to wait until my best come after they brought my starter. we were not asked if we were in order for drinks between the curses. the mains took forever! Soggy batteries on my partner fish. my head was pleasant, but eating is just a little overpriced for what it is. we were never asked if everything was in order with our meal. a really nice environment and friendly staff, but bad price-performance ratio not the largest customer service. not even asked on the way out when everything was in order with our meal! they like to take their money .. repaid the obligatory surcharge. will not be back..."

"Upon arrival, we were promptly greeted at the bar, where we found a good selection of affordable drinks. While waiting for the rest of our group, we were seated quickly. Our server, Kim, was friendly and attentive, making sure we received our food promptly and enjoyed our meal. This was my first visit to Boreham, and I definitely plan to return. The wait for our meals was short, and Kim even accommodated our request to split the bill, allowing some of us to pay in cash and others by card. The food was excellent, and I can't find any faults—I'd highly recommend dining here. I noticed there weren't any children around, which made the atmosphere feel more suited to adults and couples rather than families, which was a nice bonus. If you're a Blue Light Card holder, there's an additional 20% off food, although we only found out about this at the end of our meal. Our group of six enjoyed a meal with dessert for a total of £109, which was even more affordable given the discounted drinks. The bill before the discount was £129. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!"

",we came here for a late Sunday roast, the older First Lady we spoke with was amazing and made us very welcomed and comfortable, we started off with drinks in the lounge area before going to the restaurant most of our servers were great, the server Daniel ruined the whole experience at Berkshire arms , he was very short with us and even when it was time to close at 10.30 with others still there with full drinks he advised us they were shutting we felt targeted as other patrons were still in there drinks full pints etc but we were asked to go by him. Daniel ruined our experience and really let the whole team down as he never once smiled or felt welcoming, 5 stars to all other staff on Sunday evening"

"We had recently purchased a discount dining voucher from our local radio station and decided to visit last night. When we got there, the atmosphere was fantastic, not too loud, but warm and friendly all the same. All the staff were very accommodating. The food service was quick and when it got there the portion sizes were huge...not to mention delicious, fantastic value for money too. Will definitely be returning!"
"The staff and service were absolutely amazing! Jo and her team provided us with their top-notch service once again, offering a warm welcome and accommodating us without any fuss, even when we needed to move our table. The food was delicious as always; I had the sea bass risotto, which was beautiful! I believe it was Siobhan who checked on us repeatedly, and nothing seemed to bother her. She was chatty and friendly, contributing to a lovely evening as we celebrated my birthday."

"Visited for Friday night dinner. Good mix o meat fish and vegetarian starters and mains. I had the soufflé it was perfect! J had the salmon and cod croquette lovely. Mains I had the venison wellington loin still just pink at the centre, ate perfectly, J had the herb crusted cod with a delicious butternut squash purée ,both with nice veg accompaniment. Sweets both delicious. Good wine choices by glass or bottle. Service excellent throughout . Unfortunately, didn’t take pictures."
"Sat outside as dogs not allowed inside. Very difficult to get out when holding a couple of drinks as the door opens inwards and nowhere really to rest a drink. Luckily a very friendly waitress helped out. Person serving behind the bar was very unfriendly and unwelcoming. Tables benches outside had leaves, bird poo and puddles on them suppose it is November! Lovely pub and atmosphere inside, just a shame no dogs inside not even in bar area."

"Lovely interior, although if you struggle with stairs you should request a ground floor table. Slightly aggressive air con, but the staff did adjust it for us. Fabulous selection of fish and sea food, steaks, and one or two vegetarian options. I couldn't see anything vegan. Food was tasty and clearly prepared with love. I had a risotto that was nice and creamy. Service was good but occasionally slow. It was pretty popular for a mid week evening, so booking is advised. Vegetarian options: A couple of choices of both starters and mains. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Recommendation for vegetarians: Somewhat recommend Vegetarian offerings Clearly labeled vegetarian dishes"

"High expectations. Great disappointment. Nice ambience and service was fine. But food very second rate and not particularly cheap. Fish was very wet and overcooked and full of bones. Risotto had a very strange taste to it. We tried 3 different deserts and none matched the description eg tarte tatin was actually a poached apple. All where disappointing. We would have complained if we weren't on route to the theatre. If food quality is important to you I would avoid Purchases. Walkability: 5mins from Cathedral in pedestrian area Food drinks: Fish was very wet and overcooked and full of bones. Risotto had a very strange taste to it. We tried 3 different deserts and none matched the description eg tarte tatin was actually a poached apple. All where disappointing. White house wine was Ok"

"Such a bright friendly greeting and great convivial atmosphere really made this an ideal place to enjoy excellent food. The Cullen Skink was perfect, the abundant gambas beyond sublime, enhanced by a generous touch of chili, ginger and coriander in their pot of garlic butter. Faultless cooking and presentation, this was a wonderful lunch. Big shout out for the delightful young lady from Ballymena who greeted, served and brought enthusiasm and genuine warmth to the place. Well done and thank you."

"Wouldn't recommend. Mussels weren't cleaned properly so still had beards attached, were over cooked and many of the shells were broken. Hummus tasted just like blitzed tinned chickpeas, couldn't taste any lemon, tahini, garlic or olive oil. Batter on the fish was soggy. French fries were stale and under seasoned. Very expensive considering the modest portion sizes and lackluster quality. 4 out of 10, would have been less but the sourdough was excellent."

"Had a meal here today, 4 of us. Wasnt great, we had 2 chefs special starter to share, not enough bread for 2 people to have with camerbert and terrine. The terrine was ok but tasted like cornbeef. Camerbert was nice, the spicy chicken was nice. We asked for more bread it took so long to come out we had almost finished. When it eventually came out after asking twice, it was toasted and like little bruchettas. The main courses weren't great, had 2 mixed grills chicken was burnt on both mixed grills, had to ask for another 4oz steak as the first was well done when I asked for medium rare, the signature burger wasn't great pulled beef dripping was more like sliced beef hidden under the cheese with no sauce and the burger tasted more like grit. 10oz ribeye was probably the only good thing. Sticky toffee pudding was ok wasnt great. Had better. The menu looks better than what is served. Atmosphere wasn't great and wasn't busy yet everything took ages to come out like they were busy. Staff were friendly but no apology as to why food took so long. Alot of money was spent which could of got better elsewhere. Tables were sticky too like they had been cleaned with sugar. Not sure what has happened as have had better meals here in the past."
